520			_a"Gloves, Past and Present" by Willard M. Smith is a historical and industrial account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the significance of gloves through history, exploring their cultural, social, and economic impact on society over the ages. The author seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked appreciation for gloves as both a practical necessity and a symbol of elegance and status. At the start of the text, Smith presents a preface detailing the common disregard for gloves in modern times, contrasting it with their profound historical significance. He reflects on his thirty years of experience in the glove industry and expresses a desire to educate readers about the fascinating history and craftsmanship behind this seemingly mundane article of clothing. The opening also hints at the rich tapestry of glove lore that will be explored throughout the book, emphasizing gloves' roles in social ceremonies and their ties to nobility and craftsmanship across cultures and eras.
